I love my country
By which I mean
I am indebted joyfully
To all the people throughout its history
Who have fought the government to make right
Where so many cunning sons and daughters
Our foremothers and forefathers
Came singing through slaughter
Came through hell and high water
So that we could stand here
And behold breathlessly the sight
How a raging river of tears
Cut a grand canyon of light
Yes, I've bin so many places
Flown through vast empty spaces
With stewardesses whose hands
Look much older than their faces
I've tossed so many napkins
Into that big hole in the sky
Bin at the bottom of the Atlantic
Seething in a two-ply
Looking up through all that water
And the fishes swimming by
And I don't always feel lucky
But I'm smart enough to try
Cuz humility has buoyancy
And above us only sky
So I lean in
Breathe deeper that brutal burning smell
That surrounds the smoldering wreckage
That I've come to love so well
Yes, color me stunned and dazzled
By all the red white and blue flashing lights
In the American intersection
Where black crashed head on with white
Comes a melody
Comes a rhythm
A particular resonance
That is us and only us
Comes a screaming ambulance
A hand that you can trust
Laid steady on your chest
Working for the better good
(Which is good at its best)
And too, bearing witness
Like a woman bears a child...
With all her might
Born of the greatest pain
Into a grand canyon of light
I mean, no song has gone unsung here
And this joint is strung crazy tight
And people bin raising up their voices
Since it just ain't bin right
With all the righteous rage
And all the bitter spite
That will accompany us out
Of this long night
That will grab us by the hand
When we are ready to take flight
Seatback and traytable
In the upright and locked position
Shocked to tears by each new vision
Of all that my ancestors have done
Like, say, the women who gave their lives
So that I could have one
People, we are standing at ground zero
Of the feminist revolution
Yeah, it was an inside job
Stoic and sly
One we're supposed to forget
And downplay and deny
But I think the time is nothing
If not nigh
To let the truth out
Coolest f-word ever deserves a fucking shout!
I mean
Why can't all decent men and women
Call themselves feminists?
Out of respect
For those who fought for this
I mean, look around
We have this
I love my country
By which I mean
I am indebted joyfully
To all the people throughout its history
Who have fought the government to make right
Where so many cunning sons and daughters
Our foremothers and forefathers
Came singing through slaughter
Came through hell and high water
So that we could stand here
And behold breathlessly the sight
How a raging river of tears

If I was the Grand Canyon I'd echo everything you say but I'm just me I'm
only me and you used to love me that way so you know how to love me that way
If I was Paul Bunyan I'd carry you so far away but I'm just me I'm only me

If I was the Grand Canyon I'd echo everything you say but I'm just me I'm
only me and you used to love me that way so you know how to love me that way
If I was Paul Bunyan I'd carry you so far away but I'm just me I'm only me
and you used to love me that way so you know how to love me that way

I've been standing on the poor man side
Looking across the great divide
At the people with the money
But they never look across at me
I see things that you wouldn't believe
The respectable man taking money like a thief
And he don't give a damn
For the mouths he could feed
Grand Canyon, Grand Canyon
The space between us gonna break my heart
There's the man who thinks different from me
So he had me thrown in his jail
He talks a lot about freedom
Then he throws away the key
And here's a man with a different coloured skin
You know he's suspicious of me
He thinks I'll steal his wife
He thinks I'll steal his colour TV
Grand Canyon, Grand Canyon
The space between us gonna break my heart
Grand Canyon, Grand Canyon
The space between us gonna break my heart
There you are on the other side
Walking away from me
I call to you
But you can't hear the word I say
I'm standing on the poor man side
Looking across the great divide
At the people in the world
But they never look across to me
Grand Canyon, Grand Canyon
Oohh, the space between us gonna break my heart
Grand Canyon, Grand Canyon
Oohh, the space between us gonna break my heart
Grand Canyon, Grand Canyon
Grand Canyon
Oohh, the space between us gonna break my heart
Grand Canyon, Grand Canyon

I came across a wonder,
vision came to be
echos of its greatness,
in our company
wrote the pain in layers,
a traveled spirit guide
whisper in the rhythm
we were searching for somehow
reachin in to figure it out.
he said live to wonder
try to ride with thunder
dance around the fire light
meet the canyon moon
live to wonder
keep from goin under
keep from goin under
we go higher, higher, higher
sorrowing high above it all
we're so lost in wonder
where spirits learn to fly
leave the ground behind us now
we were embers from the fire
like tracers in the sky
we were searching for somehow
reachin in to figure it out.
he said live to wonder
try to ride with thunder
dance around the fire light
meet the canyon moon
live to wonder
keep from goin under
keep from goin under
we go higher, higher, higher
(i dont know what he says here)
my spirit seekin brother
hope that they will see
all our lifes will crumble(not too sure)
the eagles will be humble
canyons walk for free
he said live to wonder
try to ride with thunder
dance around the fire light
meet the canyon moon
live to wonder
keep from goin under
keep from goin under
we go higher
he said live to wonder
these words will roll like thunder
dance around the fire light
meet the canyon moon
live to wonder
keep from goin under
keep from goin under
we go higher,
we go higher,

I've seen You calm the waters raging
In the rivers of my mind
Your spirit blows a breeze into my soul
And I've felt the fire that warms the heart
Knowing that it comes from You
Then I've let it turn as cold as a stone
Sometimes I feel like I'm as close as your shadow and
Sometimes I feel like I'm looking up
At You from the bottom of the
Grand Canyon, so small and so far
From the Grand Canyon, with a hole in my heart
And I'm a long way from where I know I need to be
When there's a Grand Canyon between You and me
I've had the faith that gave me strength
For moving any mountainside
I've felt the solid ground beneath my feet
But I've had the bread of idleness while
Drinking from a well of doubt
And it shakes the core of all I believe
Sometimes I feel like I'm as close as your shadow and
Sometimes I feel like I'm looking up
At you from the bottom of the
When there's a Grand Canyon between You and me
Sometimes I feel like I'm as close as your shadow and
Sometimes I feel like I'm looking up
At you from the bottom of the

I've seen you calm the waters raging in the rivers of my mind
Your spirit blows a breeze into my soul
And I've felt the fire that warms the heart
Knowing that it comes from you
Then I've let it turn as cold as a stone
Oh, sometimes I feel like I'm as close as your shadow
Sometimes I feel like I'm looking up at you
From the bottom of the Grand Canyon, so small and so far
From the Grand Canyon with a hole in my heart
And I'm a long way from where I know I need to be
And there's a Grand Canyon between you and me
I've had the faith that gave me strength for moving any mountainside
I've felt the solid ground beneath my feet
But I've had the bread of idleness while drinking from a well of doubt
And it shakes the core of all I believe
Oh, sometimes I feel like I'm as close as your shadow
Sometimes I feel like I'm looking up at you
From the bottom of the Grand Canyon, so small and so far
From the Grand Canyon with a hole in my heart
And I'm a long way from where I know I need to be
And there's a Grand Canyon between you and me
There's a Grand Canyon between you and me
Sometimes I feel like I'm as close as your shadow
Sometimes I feel like I'm looking up at you
From the bottom of the Grand Canyon, so small and so far
From the Grand Canyon with a hole in my heart
And I'm a long way from where I know I need to be
And there's a Grand Canyon between you and me

[Cee-Lo Green]
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [4X]
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyy you!
If I build a bridge, could I, come on over?
And sayyyy
You look beautiful, even from so far away
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyy there!
I wish I was the winnnnnnnd that, blows your hair
Don't cryyyy
If I could, I'd walk right across the sky
[Chorus 1]
I see the woman for me
On the other side of the Grand Canyon
Could that beeeeee the woman for me
on the other side of the Grand Canyon
[Cee-Lo Green]
I'm screaming, to to the top of my lungs
No one has heard a word, I had to say
The wind, blew them awayyyyyy
Heyyyyyyyyyyyyy there!
I love youuuuuuuu
And oh it's not fairrrrrr
Whyyyy, can't I flyyyyy?
Cause
[Chorus 2]
I see the woman for me
On the other side of the Grand Canyon (Grand Canyon)
I couldn't see clearly, the woman for me
on the other side of a Grand Canyon, ooooh

Boy, I think you've come home
Open up the door and step inside
So many people who feel the way you do
Their sweetest dreams have always been denied
Lock the past into a box and throw away the key
And leave behind those days of endless night
Everyone is waiting, everyone is here
Step out of the woods into the light
Everybody loves you here
Everybody loves you here
Everybody loves you here
Everybody loves you here
Boy, you've been on the wrong road
Wearing someone else's shoes
Who told you you were not what you were meant to be?
And got you paying someone else's dues?
This is the place for you just look around this room
Is anybody here made out of stone?
Down among the heretic
The losers and the saints
You are here amongst your own
You've come home, you've come home
You've come home, you've come home
You've come home
Look at this hole inside your heart
No one can ever fill
It's like the Grand Canyon
Look at this gap that's opened up
Between you and the world
It's like the Grand Canyon
Look at this hole inside your heart
It's like the Grand Canyon
The Grand Canyon
Everybody loves you here
Everybody loves you here
Everybody loves you here
Everybody loves you here
You've come home, you've come home
You've come home, you've come home

There? s a space in between us
Things just aren? t, they aren? t the same
In your heart there? s an aching
And you can? t see through the pain
I would run to your rescue
But you won't call out my name
So I? m reaching across the Grand Canyon
Hoping you will take my hand
And wondering why you? re just not listening
So for the time being I? ll just keep on reaching for you
There? s a thorn you? ve been holding
And you can? t, you can? t let it go
I wish that I could stop the bleeding
But you won? t, you won? t let it show
And I can? t wrestle with your demons
If you never let me see them
So I? m reaching across the Grand Canyon
Hoping you will take my hand
And wondering why you? re just not listening
So for the time being I? ll just keep on reaching for you
To come back to your senses again
And hear me calling, calling, calling
There? ll come a day, we? ll be together
And all your tears will be wiped away
And on that day, I? ll hold you so tightly
And all this pain will just melt away
I? m reaching across the Grand Canyon
Hoping you will take my hand
Wondering why you? re just not listening
So for the time being I? ll just keep on holding out
And reaching across the Grand Canyon
Hoping you will take my hand
And wondering why you? re just not listening
So for the time being I? ll just keep on reaching
